In the very eighth episode, we fly all the way to Jordan to talk to Mohammad. We talk about working through COVID-19, everything that comes with working with family, and why integrity is so important in this field.  Dan tells a joke: A German Shepherd went to the telegram office, took out a blank form, and wrote: "Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof." The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: "There are only nine words here. You could send another 'Woof' for the same price." "But," the dog replied, "that would make no sense at all."
